[Orna Agmon Ben-Yehuda]

On Monday, August 17th, Haifux's 10th birthday, at 18:30, with the
airconditioner on, Haifux will gather to hear Rami Rosen
talk about:

   Sockets in the Linux Kernel (2)

Abstract
We will deal with the implementation the following sockets in the Linux
kernel:

   - Raw sockets.
   - Unix Domain sockets.
   - Netlink sockets.
   - SCTP sockets.

We will discuss the following topics:

   - how raw sockets are used in the familiar "ping" and "traceroute" utils.

   - The usage of Unix domain sockets as an IPC (Inter process
   communication) mechanism.
   - Netlink sockets as a messaging subsystem between kernel and userspace
   (including rtnetlink and generic netlink)
   - examples demonstratting Netlink sockets usage
   - SCTP sockets : one-to-one style and one-to-many style.
